A number of Derby people have expressed interest in getting together
the week of Java One. I'm thinking that people may be busy attending
sessions during Java One itself, so it might be better to meet the
first day before the Java One sessions start. That would be the
Community One day (Monday, May 5). However, that may be an awkward day
for some people for other reasons.
I'm leaning toward Monday May 5. I'm also leaning toward a
bring-your-own-lunch format as we've done before with Derby developer
get-togethers. Let me know if lunchtime (say 11:30 onward) that day
sounds good to you.
Hi Rick,
I think that'll work fine for me.
I plan on taking advantage of the free Community One offer (no money
in my budget to go to javaone), so depending on the offerings lunch
may not work for me. Community One day is free and at least last year
they offered free beer (even had achor steam on tap) for an hour and
1/2 after work sometime, would anyone like to meet up then - and maybe
head to a different location from there? It looks like the reception is
6-7:30pm.
You do have to sign up. The link is easily findable, I would post it
but I don't know the rules on advertising on the list. I am not an
employee of Sun. I did find the event useful especially given the
price - free. I probably would not travel to go to it, but since I am
in the
neighborhood.
Not conflicting with Community One sessions sounds good, as does meeting
after 6:00 pm for free beer. I didn't attend the reception last year. Do
you have any advice about how we would raft together at the reception?
Does anyone have a Derby sign that we could wave around?
Last year they just held it in the area outside where the javaone vendor
pavillion is, down the escallator where they usually have a bunch of
bean bag seeting and the wall of video. And people hung out and talked
in that area, it wasn't so
big or crowed that you would not see a sign if you walked around a bit.
But of course I have no idea what they will do this year.
Thanks,
-Rick
